Central Sector Scholarship Scheme of ‘Top Class Education’ for Scheduled Tribe students


The Union Cabinet today gave its approval to increase the total family income ceiling under the central sector scholarship scheme of “Top Class Education” for Scheduled Tribe (ST) students” from the existing Rs. 2 lakh to Rs. 4.50 lakh per annum, with effect from the selection year 2013-14.

The enhancement of the ceiling of the annual total family income from all sources will enable larger number of ST students avail benefits of the scheme. This will also act as a major incentive for ST students pursuing higher and technical education.
The decision does not entail any additional burden. The expenditure on account of revision of the scheme would be met under the existing budget allocation for each year.
Background :
The Central Sector scholarship scheme of “Top Class Education” for ST students’ was approved by the Cabinet in its meeting held in May 2007 and came into force with effect from 2007-08. The objective of the scheme is to provide adequate financial support to ST students for pursuing professional education in selected premier institutions of the country.

The achievement of the drive was reviewed in July, 2011 by the Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions as there was a large backlog of vacancies which were yet to be filled.  The drive was re-launched to fill up the remaining identified backlog vacancies by the end of the financial year i.e. 31.03.2012.  All Ministries/Departments were requested to make concerted efforts to ensure that the remaining backlog reserved vacancies of SCs, STs and OBCs were filled up by 31st March, 2012.

The achievement of  the  Special  Recruitment  Drive  on  its conclusion on 31st March, 2012, as reported by various Ministries/Departments is as follows:

(i)  A total of 75,522 backlog vacancies were identified. Of these, 44,427 were in the directrecruitment quota and 31,095 in the promotion quota.

(ii)       Of the 44,427 backlog vacancies in the direct recruitment quota, 28,588 have been filled up so far. The success rate in direct recruitment quota is therefore 64.35 percent .

(iii)    Out of 31,095 backlog vacancies in the promotion quota, there are 11,347 vacancies (SC 4,239 & ST 7,106) for which eligible candidates are not available even in the extended zone of consideration. Therefore, it has not been found possible to fill up these vacancies. Out of the remaining 19,748vacancies in the promotion quota, 19,446 vacancies have been filled up so far. After excluding thevacancies for which candidates are not available, achievement of the drive in respect of the promotionquota is 98.47 percent.

Need to avoid the use of term “Harijan” in respect of Scheduled Castes in official communications and transactions



No. 17020/64/2010-SCD (R.L.Cell) 
Government of India 
Social Justice and Empowerment 
Department of Social Justice and Empowerment

Shastri Bhawan, New Delhi 
New Delhi, dated: 22.11.2012

To, 
The Chief Secretaries, 
All State Governments/ 
Union Territory Administrations.

Subject : Need to avoid the use of term “Harijan” in respect of Scheduled Castes in official communications and transactions.

Sir, 
‘I am directed to refer to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) letter No. BC 12025/44/80-SC&BCD.I/IV, dated 10.02.1982, in which all the State Governments / Union Territory Administrations were requested to issue instructions to the authorities who were empowered to issue the Scheduled Castes certificates, not to insert the word ‘Harijan’ in the Scheduled Caste certificates, but to mention only the name of the caste to which the person belongs. Subsequently the Ministry of Welfare (now Social Justice and Empowerment), vide letter No. 12025/14/90-SCD(R.L.Cell), dated 16.08.1990, had again requested the Chief Secretaries of all State Governments/Union Territory Administrations, that for all official transactions, matters, dealings, certificates etc., the Constitutional term, ‘Scheduled Caste’ in English and its appropriate translation in other national languages should alone be used for denoting the persons belonging to the Scheduled Castes included in the Presidential Orders issued under Article 341 of the Constitution. The State Governments / U.T.Administrations were also requested that in the names of departments, which are in overall charge of development/welfare of Scheduled Castes, the term ‘Harijan’ etc. should not be used.

2. The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Social Justice and Empowerment. in its Ninth Report presented to Lok Sabha and laid in Rajya Sahha on l9.08,2010, inter-alia observed as follows:
"…..the circular issued way back in 1982 is very old which has lost its sanctity and purpose leading to its non compliance…. As such, there is widespread use of the word ‘Harijan’ across the country deprecating the status of the underprivileged sections of the society“.
Accordingly, the Committee has recommended that this Ministry issue fresh guidelines, instructions to States/ U.Ts directing them to ensure the non-use of the word “Harijan” not only in caste certificates but also otherwise.

3. All the State Governments/U.T. Administrations are again requested that for all office transactions, matters, dealings, certificates etc.. the Constitutional term. ‘Scheduled Caste’ in English, and its – appropriate translation in other national languages should alone be used for denoting the persons belonging to the Scheduled Castes included in the Orders issued by the President under Article 341 of the Constitution of India. 

4. Action taken on the above may kindly be intimated to the undersigned.

sd/- 
Yours faithfully, 
(P.L.Negi) 
Director (SCD)
